Start helping out friends and family members. Word of mouth is always your best bet.

Research, research, research. Start by reading up on the necessary supplies required in order to decorate a wedding. You will need to purchase these items. Then, you should interview recently married couples and ask them what they liked/disliked about their decorator. Find out what sets a good decorator apart from a poor one. Next meet with wedding planners in the area to build a relationship with them, and ask them the same questions you asked the couples. Remember, you will also be trying to convince the wedding planner to recommend you to future brides. After all of this, you may want to look into creating a legal company, instead of just doing this work personally. This will save you from being sued personally by a Bridezilla. Only your company will be able to get sued. Of course you should consult a lawyer for more details of this aspect.

The best way is to get your feet wet. Do that by volunteering at your family and friends who are getting married or see if a local wedding business will allow you to be an intern.Don't be disappointed if the local business don't respond because if they know you are getting into the same business as them, they might feel threatened.Good luck

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost. Wedding Ceremony Decoration Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority... Wedding Music Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances. Wedding Photography Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day. Wedding Favors Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you... Wedding Food Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget. Wedding Cake Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition Wedding Party The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
